I know some people get perturbed when I write about extinct plays. The plays might be extinct but the concepts never die. You never can tell when history will repeat itself, or some similar game develops. But I will move on to one of my current vulture plays.
The game is called Jackpot Rocket. In the screenshot you will see a 7-spot keno game. On the payscale you can see the Hit Column, Win Column, Progressive Column, and the Countdown Column. This is a two-coin quarter game and the win column reflects that. This game has 5% worth of meters. Here is a screenshot of the game:

The 7/7 meter starts at $700, runs 2% but caps at $800.
The 6/7 meter starts at $250, runs at 1%, but will run at 3% when the 7/7 meter caps.
The 5/7 meter starts at $165.50 and runs at 1%. If the 6/7 meter caps the 5/7 meter goes to 4%.
The 4/7 meter starts at $102.50 and runs at 1%.
The Countdowns are all at reset. Take the 4/7 countdown for example. In the picture you can see that the countdown is at 248. You you hit a 4/7 the countdown will move down to 247. Hit another 4/7 and the countdown will drop to 246, etc. When you hit all 248 4/7's you will get the money in the meter. The countdowns for the other hits work the same way.
Playing straight through this game has about a 95% return. But I don't play them straight through. I vulture them. Take a look at this next screenshot. I play them when I find them like this. You can see that the countdown on the 4/7 is 40. This is a strong play, at least through hitting 40 4/7's.

I used to have to do the math right at the machine when I found plays like this. But I'm high tech now. I have a keno calculator right on my phone. Anytime I find a play with a theoretical of 110% or higher I play it off. In the case here the first 39 4/7's pay 5 for 1. The 40th pays 261 for 1 ($130.45 is 261 bets). So the average value of the 4/7 is 11.4 for 1. The frequency on the 4/7 is 19.16.
11.4/19.16 = 59.5%
I punch the rest of the payscale into the keno calculator but leave the 4/7 on zero. The return shows 56.3%.
59.5% + 56.3% = 115.8%. Adding the 1% meter means the play is at 116.8% through hitting 40 4/7's.
The expectation is to play 766 games to hit 40 4/7's (19.16 X 40 = 766). Thats a wager of $383.
$383 X 16.8% = an average earn of $64.
On turbo speed the game plays at 44 games per minute. So the average seat time on the play is 19 minutes. In other words, my seat time in these spots is worth about $190 an hour. However, I spend considerable time looking for these plays. But I do manage to get in several plays a day with advantages similar to this one.
I not only get plays on the 4/7, I also get plays on the 5/7 and 6/7.
This is my style of gambling. I have a variety of short term plays like this. It's why I can tell people I don't have losing months or even losing weeks. And it is extremely rare that I have a losing day. I don't win on every play. But I win on 90% of them.
